Advanced Warehousing & Inventory Control for Business Excellence

  • Begin with understanding what warehouse management really means and how it directly impacts business operations, cost control, and revenue generation across industries like manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, infrastructure, and services — especially by managing the physical flow of materials at the organization, region, and project or plant level.
  • Learn how to design a warehouse structure and decide storage capacity by collecting and evaluating inputs from business heads, project owners, or functional leaders to align warehouse planning with operational needs.
  • Focus on building a smooth, efficient working system by developing and implementing clear Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) — creating a solid process foundation that helps teams work in sync and stay compliant.
  • Learn the fundamentals of inventory planning and forecasting through real-time examples, covering methods like demand forecasting, safety stock calculation, inventory classification, and reorder point management, while exploring various techniques such as moving averages, EOQ, and seasonal adjustments for effective decision-making and optimal inventory levels across industries.
  • Get practical knowledge on handling incoming materials — from physical verification and quality checks to managing variances or rejections, completing ERP entries like MRN/GRN, and closing the inbound process without delays.
  • Understand the best way to manage outgoing materials — ensuring the right materials are issued in the right quantities to the right locations, with real-time postings in the system to maintain data accuracy and operational flow.
  • Learn how to store and preserve materials properly to prevent damage, reduce pilferage, and minimize scrap or waste, ensuring everything is in place when needed without unnecessary stock losses.
  • Explore different inventory valuation methods and how each one can affect business revenue, cost of goods, and financial reporting, helping you choose the right method for your operations.
  • Implement physical stock audits and reconciliation plans with systematic processes like cycle counting, variance analysis, and approval mechanisms to ensure accuracy and accountability.
  • Learn how to identify and manage slow-moving and non-moving items, and how to make smart decisions such as transferring excess stock to other plants or projects where it’s actually needed.
  • Understand the full process of scrap handling — from collection and storage to proper disposal and sales — in a way that ensures transparency, compliance, and added value from unused inventory.
  • Learn how to build and maintain a Warehouse Performance Dashboard that gives clear visibility, supports real-time reporting to management, and enables corrective actions whenever performance gaps appear.
  • Explore how applying the 5S concept in warehouse operations can transform the workspace — improving cleanliness, discipline, sustainability, and overall operational efficiency.
  • Master inventory performance management by using key metrics like inventory turnover ratio and fill rate, along with proven methods such as ABC analysis, demand forecasting, and stock classification to boost performance, balance inventory levels, and align operational efficiency with financial control.
